Brake Servo

Post by golfingtam »

  Good day. I want to fit a brake servo to my T25 'van. I have found one on ebay that fits classic cars. It is for single line brakes. Would I be able to use this on mine? Thanks to all.

Has someone removed the original then?
As far as I am aware all of our vans were fitted with servos.

Some of the early Aircooled 1.6 engine vans didnt have the servo brake system fitted.

  My van(1600cc) is one of the first in the country and did not have a brake servo fitted a standard.  I want to know if I can fit an ordinary remote servo to it? Thanks.

Every day is a school day!
A remote servos is a possibility but I think many are only single circuit so if you lose fluid then you lose the lot.
I may be wrong though, I’ve been very wrong so far 🤣

Best to get a complete original T3 brake and hydraulic clutch pedal cluster with servo attached if you have cable operated clutch , then you can have the full spec.

Hello,

We have  '80 and '82 CT's, both fitted with optional servo from new.

Does this mean that the vacuum feed pipe from the left hand side inlet manifold is blanked, or not there... :?:

Some photos would help.

A servo type master cylinder and servo are all available, the most fiddly bit would be to run the vacuum pipe from rear to front.
